To add depth and dimension to Liesbeth Willaert is a Belgian artist who has been living in Barcelona since 2015. This southern life close to the Mediterranean sea is extremely noticeable in her work. “The intensity of light, the hours of sun, the colour of the surrounding nature and the general way of living at the Mediterranean redefined my choice of what are to me “natural colors” and how to define a thing called “life” Since then, her works stand out through the abundance of colour, specific bright pallets and the combination of organic and graphical shapes. To add depth and dimension to her work, Liesbeth often integrates other materials such as sand, metal, paper, tissue and powders from stones to the canvas. All of her paintings are based on an urge to express the inner self in an intuitive way, with each final painting being a result of different layers reflecting different inner moods. Contrast within the painting is often created due to a deliberate rest period within the process which helps her apply another inner state. As such, when a painting is final we could speak of a realized 'inner trip', a kind of ‘voyage’. Her works are mostly described as ‘lyrical abstracts’ or how she likes to call them “Colour(e)scapes”. Her work aims to connect, reveal and inspire. Read her full story on And once the painting has found its new home, she’ll be happy to share it. For more info, don’t hesitate to reach out:
